Syncing SharePoint Sites with OneDrive

Prerequisites

Ensure the OneDrive sync client is installed on your device. If not, download it from the Microsoft OneDrive website or contact IT for assistance.
You must have access to the SharePoint site you wish to sync.

Syncing a SharePoint Site

Access the SharePoint Site:
Log in to the Magrock SharePoint portal using your Microsoft 365 credentials and navigate to the site containing the files you want to sync.
Navigate to the Document Library:
Open the document library or folder you wish to sync. This is typically under the Documents section of the site.
Click the Sync Button:
- At the top of the document library, click the Sync button.
- If prompted, allow your browser to open the OneDrive application.
Sign In (If Required):
The OneDrive client may prompt you to sign in with your Microsoft 365 account. Use your organisation email and password.
Confirm Sync Setup:
A confirmation window will appear showing the folder location where your SharePoint files will sync. You can either accept the default location or choose a new one.
Access Your Files Locally:
- Once syncing is complete, the SharePoint files will appear in File Explorer (Windows) under a folder named after the SharePoint site.
- You can now work on these files as if they were stored locally. Changes will automatically sync back to SharePoint.

Pausing or Stopping Sync

Pause Sync: Click the OneDrive cloud icon in your system tray or menu bar, select Pause Syncing, and choose the duration.
Stop Sync: Open the OneDrive settings, navigate to the Account tab, and select Stop Sync for the relevant site.

Troubleshooting

Sync Issues: If files are not syncing, ensure you have an active internet connection and sufficient storage space. Restarting the OneDrive client can often resolve issues.
Permissions: Verify that you have the necessary permissions to access the SharePoint site.
Contact IT Support: For unresolved issues, submit a ticket via FreshService or contact the IT department.
